Karen Read’s Lexus played a central role in the prosecution’s case, which hinged on the theory that she backed into cop boyfriend John O’Keefe, shattering a taillight

All quiet in the court! Karen Read is officially acquitted of murder charges. But her battle with the justice system isn’tover. Her SUV has been held as evidence for months, and she wants it back. She filed a motion asking a judge for the immediate return of her Lexus.

A lawyer for Read, Steven C. Boozang, said in the filing that the defense tried to “negotiate the return of the listed property with ADA Adam Lally in late June” following the verdict, but had not heard back. State Police has possession of the property, he said.
